Birdhouse


I used different slabs to create the structure of the birdhouse.  To make the designs on each side I used a needle tool to etch out the design from the clay.  To attach the peg on the front I used the slip and score method.  I had to go over the lines many times in order to keep small pieces of clay from sticking in the lines.  I decided to use two different glazes to make the piece more interesting.  I chose a light blue for the bottom and freckled brown for the roof and peg.  I chose the special glaze to make the roof seem to have a texture and attract attention.
